CPS 4601/5951 Spring 2018 Assignment given: Homework #5-Heuristic Evaluation Name: Tuesday, March 27, 2018, in class. Assignment due Due Thursday, March 29, 2018, in class. Bring hardcopy to turn in and be prepared to present/discuss your answers. The objective of this assignment is to conduct a heuristic evaluation. Three articles are available, linked on the class Google Site "A Guide to Heuristic Website Reviews" (Howells, 2011) "Heuristics for Modem Web Application Development" (Budd, 2007) "10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design" (Nielsen, 1995) https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/12/a-guide-to-heuristic-website-reviews http://www.andybudd.com/archives/2007/01/heuristics_for_modern_web_application_developm https://www.nngroup.com/articles/ten-usability-heuristics/ Look at the Nielsen heuristics and use them to evaluate a website selected from this set www.amazon.co www.walmart.co www.home www.lowes.c co Which website did you select? Do the heuristics help you focus on the website more intently than if you were not using them? 1. 2. Would fewer heuristics be better? How do you think the site should be changed - what should be removed or combined? How does this impact your overall evaluation? If you did your evaluation on a smart phone, were all the heuristics relevant and useful? 3. 4. Develop a visualization using a radar plot (as shown in Howells, 2011) and draw it here CPS 4601/5951 Spring 2018 Assignment given: Homework #5-Heuristic Evaluation Name: Tuesday, March 27, 2018, in class.
